Great cruise, very clean, excellent staff. The only big miss was the long walk in the hot sun from the water taxi drop off to the terminal for check in. I almost passed out from the heat. I wasn't expecting a long walk and did not have a hat and I would have lightened my computer bag. There was a poor welcome on board with no drink or directions or offer of an escort to our cabin. HAL made a very bad first impression! I vowed not to spend a penny more than our on board credit, no pictures, no pool drinks and no fancy dinning. Our final bill for tips and wine was $27. We enjoyed the shows and the music. The food was good but limited in selection, at least we had lobster night! The port were all interesting we did private tours in Rome, Livorno and Naples.
We went to the nude beach and ate at Be Gay the beach bar. It was fun!
It was hot. We walked to the place for changing of the guard and back to the ship.
Took a cab tour and walked around the old city.
